Pages of explanation would not make this clear. Better to run the commands
Friedrich supplied and see the problem for yourself.
Scott Merryman <[email protected]> came up with what Friedrich
rightly calls an "amazing" solution.
. graph hbar mpg trunk, over(rep78, ///
relabel(1 `"" "" ""1"" "" ""' 2 `"" "" ""2"" "" ""' 3 `""Two" "lines""'))
Scott basically forced the correct alignment of labels by throwing a pair of
blank lines around each default label that was displaying one row higher than
center.
Scott's creative solution notwithstanding, this looks like a bug to me and one
that we will fix in the next ado updates.
